It will be fun to watch the candidates argue over who is more liberal.I can see the MSM types asking the Democrat candidates to prove that they are the most liberal candidate in the race.

She’s hasn’t endorsed anyone and is pretty much staying away from the circus that is the Republican primary race. I know some here think that her staying out of the race was a good thing, but if they were truly honest they’d admit that if her Oct 5th announcement had been she was in that she’d be crushing the field by now. Crony capitalism/political ‘featherbedding’ would be her theme and none of the other candidates would be busy trying to change the subject, all tainted to some degree, their ‘sticky fingers’ for all to see. You Mittbots, Newtboys, Perrites, Paularions and the rest have to thank your lucky stars that Mrs. P decided to stay out. But then there is still time for her to change the dynamic of the race. Maybe she wanted one more Christmas will the family and enjoy it in peace before joining the fray.

Palin was NEVER running. And don’t call our primary a ‘circus’. Compared to whom….Obama.

This is the best explanation I have seen in regards to Newts rise in the polls. If you think we are in a recession but otherwise “things” are ok, then Mitt’s your choice. If you think things are going to heck, then we need a bull in the china shop to get things changed in a hurry. That’s Newt.

BTW, regarding the independent and women vote, I believe independents will vote for Newt because he has been moderate at times. Women? Who knows what a woman will do?

I think it’s simpler. Gingrich doesn’t look too appetizing as a candidate, until you find yourself staring at Romney and get that sick feeling you’re stuck with him. Compared to Romney, Gingrich is far preferable.

“‘Christine has been a leader in the conservative movement for many years,’ Romney said. ‘Christine recognizes that excessive government threatens us now and threatens future generations, and I am pleased to have her on my team.’”

LOL

I hope the Tea Party folks (I consider myself among them) who supported her are happy with O’Donnell’s latest lunacy. Those of you who hitched your wagon to that whackjob O’Donnell must be very proud. Since when does Mittens have anything in common with the Tea Party?
Really, Tea Party … Mittens? Snagging the endorsement of this woman is the sign of a very desperate Romney.
AND WE LOVE IT !!

“Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney blasted rival Newt Gingrich Tuesday as an ‘extremely unreliable leader in the conservative world’ who has taken positions in this campaign that should give GOP voters pause as they consider their choices for the party’s nomination…

That remains a stretch. Mitt Romney is still the sensible choice if you believe these are rough, but generally sensible, times. If, however, you think these are crazy and extraordinary times, then perhaps they call for a crazy, extraordinary — very high-risk, very high-reward — figure like Gingrich.

This helps explain why Newtzilla is so formidable. In order to stop him, you need to explain to very anxious GOP voters that the times don’t require him.

This is the best explanation I have seen in regards to Newts rise in the polls. If you think we are in a recession but otherwise “things” are ok, then Mitt’s your choice. If you think things are going to heck, then we need a bull in the china shop to get things changed in a hurry. That’s Newt.

Can we please please please put to rest the notion that Gingrich balanced the budget? Ever?! HE DIDN’T.

If the Democrats can call Clinton’s era the time of balanced budgets and surpluses, so can Gingrich. Remember only Washington thinks a reduction in the rate of growth is a “cut”.

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:24:08 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=169965#comment-5170486cringe, this lady has had her chance and an endorsement from the “witch” faction desrved or not is just what Romney deserves. I don’t get this Tea Party forgive and forget of Romney’s and Scott Brown’s disdain and distancing of the Tea Party so they could get themselves elected in Massachusetts. Romney will probably do the same in the general election, too, if he gets the nomination, Gor forbid! Then the democrats and their media flunkies would love nothing better than to have Romney become the poster boy of conservatism and the Tea Party so they’ll be able to use him as an example in all future elections. What a friggin’ nightmare! What a lousy field we’ve got at the top.
